This could be the sign SJCC was talking about… Havlat may be getting ready to come of the IR list? Uh oh…

Or did JT take a shot on goal at the scrimmage?

JBFri, 13 Sep 2013 19:29:59 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/sharks/?p=9847#comment-229332tealmaherajah, I had the same thought, but DW does like to try reclamation projects of former first rounders, and to have some competition in camp. Also, I was thinking teams have to play a certain minimum number of players with a certain amount of NHL experience in each preseason games (sorry, cannot recall or quickly verify). Otherwise those games can become mostly no-name affairs many wouldn’t pay to see. So veterans, especially potential bubble players like Stewart (at over 250 NHL games), can be brought in to fill out rosters in the preseason, allowing teams to not overuse established veteran players before the games count.

Any or none of the above, I do not know. Just pleased it is all returning.

tealmaherajahFri, 13 Sep 2013 18:58:03 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/sharks/?p=9847#comment-229330Not sure why the Sharks are giving this guy the time of day right now. It seems that the youngsters should give plenty of backup and right now, there just isn’t room for this guy. I don’t know why Wilson would put this guy in rather than develop the minor leaguers. If Wilson needs a plug later in the season, my guess is that there will be plenty to pick from later.

Further details to follow.

ElfLeafFri, 13 Sep 2013 18:14:12 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/sharks/?p=9847#comment-229328So my question for David Pollak is how many people are you going to ban this year for stating their opinion and not following the Sharks company line. I already count at least 25 names you have banned amazingly all had opinions against the Sharks company line. Apparently you and the merc do not allow forum of dissent in your blog.

ElfLeafFri, 13 Sep 2013 18:09:41 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/sharks/?p=9847#comment-229326Stewart sounds like the perfect Doug Wilson type of player, a 4th line grinder with no scoring ability who McLellan will give top line minutes too. Meanwhile Derek Stephan is still out there
